    And the most of humanity is more than happy with selfies.

    And working like this with humans in close proximity to robotic arms is extremely hazardous. One minor programming error and you could be photographing the back of your head - from inside the front of your head. Mixing people and robots like this is an absolute no-no without well marked "keep clear" zones, safety fencing, etc. to keep people outside the largest possible area the arm could reach, safety cut-outs, etc etc.

    This is an invitation to disaster.

    No, of course not!

    Enjoyed the link and the e(n)tomolygy of "bug"

    When I was an undergraduate at Harvard we still had the Mark IV and Mark I along with a Univac I. The Mark II had been sent to the Naval Weapons Lab in Virginia where I later worked, although by the time I got there in 1962 the Mark II had been replaced by the NORC (Naval Ordnance Research Calculator. At that time Computers were the people who banged away at desktop calculating machines.)

    I'm within a few months of 55 years in the computer business and I'm probably the only one who wrote bug-free code (ie, no extra charge for the bugs)

    Isn't 10x8 supposed to be equivalent to 600mps? So two 10x8s, shot at the same time and then stitch the resulting images...1200mps and jobs a good'un! Or how about one of those high powered Betterlight backs...would that work? Or using an ultra large format camera...?
    In fact I bet someone in this here community has got close to the a 900mp portrait, but whether they realise it or not is a different matter!
